HTML inside XML?

[Anon]

Hi,

I'm wondering if it's posible to somehow store HTML code in XML tag, so that when stylesheet is applied to it, those HTML tags wil be ignored by XML parser and threated as normal text?

The idea is to store HTML table between two XML tags and then with XSL stylesheet show it to the screen with it's original HTML code?

For example:

<rootTag>
<htmlCode>
<table>
<tr><td>1</td><td>2</td></tr>
<tr><td>3</td><td>4</td></tr>
</table>
</htmlCode>
</rootTag>

And HTML send to browser is:

<table>
<tr><td>1</td><td>2</td></tr>
<tr><td>3</td><td>4</td></tr>
</table>

How to achiewe that what's inside <htmlCode> tags will be displayed as it is?

Thanks
Simon

OK, I have found a Solution (kind of). Check it out...

<pre>
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<foo>
<htmlcode>

<![CDATA[
  <table>
  <tr>
    <td>Word!</td>
  </tr>
  </table>
 ]]>

</htmlcode>
</foo>
</pre>

Using the CDATA Section you can put in any character data you want, it jsut looks a little strange =P, but it does conform then. email me or reply on this thread if you have a better or different way.

I have done the same thing, but it is not rendered. complete "<table>.....</table>" is displayed in output and not the table.
